Which brushes - rakers would you recommend for a springer spaniel puppy? Or it is possible to use the just raker for home use to minimise the hair sheding?
Excellent tutorial as always. My working cocker spaniels tail was seriously too long so I trimmed with a blender on Sunday also, a tidy - up on the paws.
Thank you very much for the video. I have a gordon setter show dog. I have difficulty with handstripping his body...it is a little bit long and wavy...
Hi Bea! Thank you for your videos it helps me a lot with my Gordon setter! :) Woudl you mind giving me the name of the brush you are using to deshade your dog ? Thank you ;)
He literally understands everything that boy 😀 smartest dog I ever knew ! He didn’t like the cold table and that he wasn’t laying by down for this groom ( which he often does coz he’s too lazy to stand 🤣 as the mat wasn’t on the table )
I'd just groomed my Cocker Spaniels and thought I'd done a pretty good job. Lol then I saw your video, wow! game changer, I got another hand full after using the rubber band comb. Thanks so much Bea 😀
Hello. I just saw your videos. I am going to be gordons mom next year and i was wondering can you do some video where you can show what grooming tools are needed? :) i want to be prepared and because we dont have any good groomers near us so i have to do all the job myself but i dont have any tools ☺️
Does this tool cut the coat or pull the dead hair? I have a 8 month old English Cocker Spaniel puppy. He hasn’t been groomed at all yet. So I’m deciding how to groom.
salmon oil is amazing! i just wanna point out careful shoving the dog forward you dont have a wall there what if he fell off the table, but awesome trick for the leg holding i will defiantly use that
Because he is feathered breed and I like them in him - plus I teach so I need a model ; my old girl Is shaved off for easiness - but he doesn’t need to have them taken off yet
id imagine this being painful maybe get a mat splitter? holding up the knot you can see his skin pulling that would hurt even on someones head let alone my whole body
i found that this way of bathing works best also ive been doing it for a few years now and thought i was a genius lol i guess great minds think alike!! neo is beautiful
@@emilypalmer1244 checking his coat weekly - gentle brush if I can if not bath and condition well - Chris Christensen Big K medium brush works wonders for setter mats
This looks like a garage horror story. Your Gordon looks petrified and should be the star of the show and not you! The body language [tucked tail and head down] says it all.
I have recently found your videos and they are so helpful, thank you. I have a very thick coated two year old show spaniel with lots of fine fluffy hair as well as longer, finer hair and I would like to learn how to groom him myself, preferably stripping rather than clipping. Could you please recommend a basic set of tools - there seem to be so many variations and it is difficult to know which would be best. Thank you.
Thank you - Andis fine tooth deshedding tool is brilliant! It will get rid of the bulk of the coat and then just fine tune with hand stripping ( rubber tip fingers )
@@beaellerbeck8863 Thank you for your advice. I managed to fine the Andis fine tooth deshedding tool on a UK site. It was expensive but worth every penny! My spaniel now has a finer coat.
Dry skin is easily fixed with feeding omega oils - I prefer flaxseed / borage oil mix of good quality rather than salmon oil - feeding about a 1.5-2 teaspoons a day , every day (what added in the dog food is not enough )
Hi. I have 2 springer spaniels! can you please show where to purchase silky smooth shampoo you used. Was recommended Mars king 20 blade coat rake, is this the same you used? Many many thanks for your help 😊
Hi … you can buy MD10 silky smooth shampoo and conditioner here : md10shop.eu They ship worldwide … and also check out the videos on how I use this range for show results I don’t use coat king … best is Andis fine tooth deshedding rake ( or tool ) available in USA / Canada
Do you think these are more effective than furminators? I tried one on my setter today, and it didn't take out very much undercoat, even though she's shedding loads.
Furminator can shred the coat on a setter so I wouldn’t use it … I can’t see the coat your dog has but sometimes tools don’t work on some damaged / sparse and fine coat so you might have to just hand strip with your fingers … possibly reconsider the diet if you are getting constant excessive shedding
Maybe try the Aaronco Magna carder stripping knife and use it to rake the coat out … but if the coat is very fine - tools won’t take it out - you need to use fingers for stripping. Or possibly a stripping stone ( you can rake with it too ) - my favourite one is Dezynadog stripping stone
Hi there! I love your videos. I also have an English Setter. I'm in Chicago. Do you have any English Setters you can use in videos? Do you think the Gordon and the English are about the same in grooming? Are there any key differences? Thank you so so much for sharing these videos. Sometimes I just watch them with my afternoon coffee because the dogs are so cute and it's relaxing!
Hi 👋 thank you so much for watching .. sadly no English setter to work on as they pretty rare in England ( I know , right ?!? 😯😳) but I would use the same technique as with Gordon’s … they can be so individual in their coats too … on English you will have less or no feathers on the lower thigh ( or second thigh - below knee ; on the outside of the leg ) only and I would imagine they are much less work … but maintaining the topcoat and feathers would be more less the same … hope this helps
Hi, thanks for the video. We have English Setters for over 20 years and have found Andis products to be very good and reasonably priced. Like you I can’t find this rake in the UK, and buying from the USA becomes a bit expensive. What do you think of a Mars coat king as an alternative? Looking forward to the next instalment.
I appreciate this demonstration! I just got the andis tool to use with my working cocker spaniel. He has neuter coat, that has been shaved before, but I’m hoping that using different processes and tools will help his coat deal more comfortable and look a bit better. After seeing what the fur the rake pulled out looks like, I think that dead coat may be part of the problem for him for sure.
Hello Bea, thank you for this very intesting and informative video! I just happened to find your video as I was looking for videos on how to groom my own Cocker Spaniel at home without shaving off his hair. Your video is very constructive and very different from all others out there where the groomers all clip the dogs!!! My Cocker Spaniel is 6 years old and had been shaved off just before I adopted him 5 years ago. I have kept taking him to the same groomer about 3 times a year, and yes, she has clipped him short all this time. The last time I took him there, well, she cut his ears so short, I was very upset, because the long ears are what makes a Cocker Spaniel, a Cocker, right!!! So, after that last upsetting visit, I promised myself, and my boy Cooper, that I would, from now on, try to groom him myself. However, I realize that we are not all born to be professional dog groomers... He is an American Cocker and, I guess all that clippiing since he was a puppy has now made his hair thick and curly... it has been three months since the last grooming episode at the salon, so now I am faced with the new experience of trying to groom him myself without making things worse... Do you have any suggestions or advice for a newbie like me on how to make it a positive situation??? as it is now, Cooper looks more like a little Panda Bear (he is black and white) and he looks rather messy. So, where do I start??? I have already taken tips for the head as shown in the video, but how about the rest??? Do you have another video where you do a whole body grooming for a Cocker Spaniel? Any advice will help me! thank you so much! Christine (from Canada).
